A gunman and another person were killed during a shooting Tuesday at a medical building near the Renown Regional Medical Center, said Tom Robinson of the Reno, Nevada, Police Department.

Two other people were wounded and were in critical condition, Robinson said.

The shooter died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, authorities said. Police don't have a motive, but Robinson said it was not a random act.

Kat Raco, an ophthalmic technician who works on the second floor of the Nevada Advanced Medicine building, told CNN that she heard at least two large booms and then the sound of scampering feet above her.

The shooter opened fire after going to the neurology office of Nevada Advanced Medicine on the third floor, said Sharon Spangler, spokeswoman for Reno Police.

Raco said she and others in her office were seeing patients when the shooting occurred and first thought someone or something had fallen.

Police were there quickly, she said, telling them to lock the doors and not let anyone in.

About 10 minutes after that, more police escorted everyone on the second floor to a catwalk between the building and a parking garage. A plain-clothed officer asked questions before staff was allowed to leave about 45 minutes after the shooting.

"The police handled it in the best way possible," Raco said. "They were very professional and calm. Everyone (in the office) stayed pretty calm."

Raco said there are no armed guards in the building.

Reno police said there were at least two dozen witnesses to interview.

Earlier, the University of Nevada police tweeted that there was an active shooter and faculty, staff and students should find shelter where they were.

CNN first learned of the shooting through the university police department's Twitter account.

The medical center describes itself as the only Level II trauma center in that region of Nevada and is home to the area's only Children's Hospital, its website says. The facility also offers the region's largest number of clinical research trials.

Last month, there was a hospital shooting in Wisconsin when police shot and wounded an armed man on the neonatal intensive care floor of a Milwaukee-area children's hospital, authorities said.

Milwaukee police had gone to the Children's Hospital of Wisconsin to arrest the man on a felony warrant and found him holding a child in the intensive care unit, authorities said. Instead of surrendering, the man took out a handgun and fled down a hallway, prompting police to shoot him.

I have very good friends and a family member who work at that hospital, that is actually where I did my clinical time to get my EMT and EMT II certification.

A couple years ago the same thing happened at a court house right up the street from this hospital. Connie Mack fired several shots at a judge and a clerk and others with a sniper rifle after he brutally killed his wife who the judge ruled in favor of in the couples divorce. It was on America's Most Wanted and they caught the scumbag Darren Mack after he was the main feature profile of an episode of American's Most Wanted and the FBI's top Ten Most Wanted Fugitives Website.

Plus we had the school shooting a couple weeks ago not five minutes from this hospital that killed a HERO Teacher\Marine and injured several students and traumatized a lot of students. They still have crisis counselors dealing with it. With the school shooting last week in Colorado it brought this into light again and apparently students got scared and they had to bring more crisis counselors in. Sad. Plus this was right next to one of the places I worked.

This is what happens when mentally ill people are allowed to roam the streets and democrats have control of the government.

and step by step are disarming honest Citizens!

Right after this story broke and police were just arriving on scene Harry Reid already was talking to the media about this and banning guns BS etc, They didn't even know what was going on yet!

How much longer are you all keeping that Ratfaced Sleazebag?

Let's cut down all the forests to end forest fires...... concrete them over to solve parking issues, but then people might fall and be hurt, so let's outlaw legs as well

Smoking causes lung cancer, so lungs have to go too!

And building fires cost lives.... have to do away with buildings...


OMG.....cars! Cars have to go! More people die in cars than anything else!

Unfortunately the extreme right ran the only candidate he could beat in 2010, the nutbag Sharon Angle. She is literally the only person he could beat. He isn't up for re-election in 2016
